Spectacular Abandoned Mansion in Portugal

Located in Portugal, this abandoned mansion, with elegant stone steps leading to the front door, is architecturally striking and was clearly once the home of an affluent family. Why it fell into ruin is unknown, but efforts seem to have been made to seal the structure at some point. One ground floor and two first floor windows have been blocked-off, no doubt in a bid to preserve the property and keep vandals out. Sadly these efforts appear to have been futile and the abandoned building has since been gutted, despite its grand stone shell.
